  1. Haha! You idiots fell for it. Musk is such a genius that he is countering Europe’s refusal to buy Tesla cars for backing far right German politicians by having Trump say that he was really giving a Nazi salute. You fell for it. Of course Musk wants this out there you sheeple. Just like Trump wants it out there that he will not fire a person who gives a Nazi salute, but will put him in charge of tearing apart the government. You stupids can’t see this is all part of a planned operation to make us think they are incompetent racists. If you weren’t so blind, you could see how this benefits them both.
  2. I’m not particularly interested in your opinion that it is all staged, but I am interested in your opinion where you seem to insinuate that there won’t be massive fallout from the slap fight - staged or not. assuming we agree that Trump is the kind of guy who has no problem letting Musk say that he’s got the goods on Trump’s pedophile behavior and Trump hid it - which we don’t agree - are you so positive that the bat shit crazy conspiracy QAnon people won’t run with it? That billions of dollars in stock losses are a nothing burger? That musk dumping on the big beautiful bill has not a single chance of making one senator or representative change their position? I will shorten this: is it your position that this slap fight has caused no serious problems for musk, Trump, the Republicans - or the world’s perception of our fucked up leadership?
  3. OK, Valentine…
  4. When defending against horrific, defamatory accusations, most savvy public relations pros know it’s best to start out by repeating the allegations.
  5. Odd. Our conservative poster friends are not showing up to participate in this discussion.
  6. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania….. ”Wait - you mean to tell me that Trump put that man he now says is crazy in charge of firing all those people maintaining the federal lake campsites that are closed - and that is why my MAGA FISHING WORMS 4 PATRIOTS shop went under!!!??? Trump says he’s like an idiot - but he bankrupted our whole county when Trump put him in charge? Now that I lost everything I own, I’ll at least be able to get Medicaid for my diabetes meds.”
  7. It is nice to see that Elmo‘s political shenanigans will not reflect poorly in any way on Tesla‘s profitability… …. Said no shareholder derivative suit attorney ever.
  8. I think this makes sense. And in a way, given that Ukraine took a year and a half to set up with the plan before implementing it, Russia could take a year to prepare an enormous fuck you to Ukraine and refer to that timeframe if and when it occurs. And actually, I expected the Russian Talking Heads to be more aggressively threatening everyone with death than what they are saying on TV. Instead of agreeing that a large part of the third leg of theirnuclear delivery triad arsenal was destroyed, they focused on giving the message that Russia has all these secret wonder weapons that will destroy an NATO in the near future. That sounds a hell of a lot like Adolf’s promises to the German people late in the war.
  9. this brings back unpleasant memories from the high school era - when I had a weekend job mopping dirty floors at an RV site
  10. in this depressing world, you can always use a laugh. Here, we learned that the west will find out that Russia has the best military armaments in the world, weapons that are extremely powerful that the west doesn’t even know exist yet. And while Russia used to have quantity of items, now Russia has the best quality of weapons. He announced that NATO has a plan to attack Russia in five years. But if we do, I can only assume that there will be more tactical golf carts facing the Polish armored columns than we could’ve dreamed. What I get out of that is that Putin is preparing his country for the long-term war economy, and letting his fellow country even know that there will be an economic depression while Russia prepares to defend itself in five years. Trying to prevent blowback from continuing its current policy of transforming Russia into a war economy, with all of the deprivations that will entail for the serfs? I guess telling Ivan that he will be attacked in five years is the spoonful of sugar that helps the rotten potato go down for the next several years.
  11. He appears to have forgotten the Nordic countries and their shameful manipulation of the worldwide Herring market.
  12. Yeah, but give him two weeks…
  13. Like our robust electrical grids could go down so easily….
  14. And then the countess I was with Bent over with a kiss And put a jeweled hand on my knee I knew I’d lost the light And I was movin’ through the night Runnin’ from the grand ennui
  15. Well, who needs radios when you have élan!
  16. man, I hope you are right. if that is the worst that they do in response, that makes Putin looks weak. Like our response to Pearl Harbor being the US Navy sinking some Japanese subs and calling it a day. I’m not so sure you can humiliate Putin and Russia so deeply and get off so easily.
  17. You know that Russia is going to respond in a dramatic way to the drone attacks to its nuclear bombers. Because it’s Russia, it will likely be aimed at civilians. I have a very bad feeling about Russia’s response. And yet it seems like we are at some sort of pivotal point where the orange man may get mad enough at Putin keeping him from his Nobel prize that he gives Ukraine toys that can fuck Russia up more efficiently. If Putin kills a ton of Ukrainian civilians in some horrific attack, Putin has to weigh the public relations debacle having the possibility to push Trump into a pro Ukrainian position…. because TACO always has his eye on public opinion polls. What will happen? I fall off the fence thinking that Putin doesn’t give a shit about what the world thinks and is soon going to send a whole lot of Ukrainian civilians to their graves
  18. And France actually had better tanks than the German Mark IIIs that rolled through the narrow roads in Belgium. What France did NOT have is a tank doctrine that gathered tanks into a modern armored division. The French thought of tanks simply as infantry support - and spread them throughout their forces - which prevented the ability to assemble a large French armored force in numbers sufficient to repel the German blitzkrieg.
  19. “Submitted for your approval…. Imagine a time in place where the stupidest man with the smallest vocabulary demonstrated every day that he was the stupidest man…. Now imagine that many people looking at the stupidest man thought that he was smart and well educated…..look around you - now! - at your neighbor who is seemingly normal looking. Is he really? You may just have entered - The MAGA Zone!”
